Like many young athletes, she dreamed of competing in the Olympics, but a serious illness ruined her chance to qualify for the Games. However, the disappointment did not stop her from moving forward. Instead, she turned her focus to marathon swimming. A naturally gifted athlete, Nyad was physically well-conditioned to endure long periods in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete not only against herself but also against obstacles such as distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion. Over the next ten years, Nyad dedicated herself to becoming one of the world’s top long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for that course. In 1972, she broke another record by swimming 102.5 miles from a Bahamian island to the Florida coast. Then, in 1975, she broke a third record when she swam around Manhattan Island. Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the stretch of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she was forced to abandon the attempt to protect her health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad, the strength of her purpose mattered as much as reaching Cuba itself. “That was how she defined success,” she later reflected: “It didn’t matter that my swim fell short — I believed I had already touched the other shore.” To her, success was never just about crossing a finish line — it was about refusing to back down from a dream. When Nyad eventually retired from swimming, she continued to take on new challenges: traveling the world as a reporter, writing books, and delivering public speeches about her life journey. Today, Diana Nyad still works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the world’s most daunting waters. 36. What is the key reason that Nyad turned to marathon swimming? A. She failed to qualify for the Olympic Games. B. She wanted to find a less competitive sport than pool swimming. C. She found she had a natural talent for spending long periods in water. D. A health problem prevented her from achieving her original dream. 37. How is the information in the second paragraph organized? A. By listing events in the order they happened. B. By describing Nyad’s feelings during each swim. C. By explaining why Nyad broke swimming records. D. By comparing Nyad’s swimming speed with others. 38. What does the underlined phrase “fell short” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Ended in failure. B. Was stopped by dangers. C. Was shorter than planned. D. Took less time than expected. 39. What did Nyad do after she finished her swimming career? A. She trained young swimmers to achieve their Olympic dreams. B. She reported on global events as a traveling journalist. C. She shared her life stories through writing and speaking. D. She advocated for safer conditions in long-distance swimming. 40. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the challenges of marathon swimming. B. To describe the history of long-distance swimming records. C. To tell the life story of an inspiring and determined athlete. D. To compare Nyad’s swimming career with her later jobs. B “Look for the gap” “ Move into space” Sound familiar? From the sidelines to the field, no matter the team sport, looking for relevant information in the playing environment can be as important as any other skill if you want to score. Think Allen Iverson, Scott Pendlebury, or Natalie Medhurst, coolly judging all the options before making important decisions. How do these excellent athletes become so great? As well as their physical strengths, their brainpower is an obvious advantage. Regardless of whether an athlete is playing backyard cricket or Olympic basketball, their playing environment holds important information that must be found, explained and then acted on. Research conducted at Western Sydney University finds skilled players are better at looking for and seeing the options and what’s happening around them in the playing environment. They tend to look both at an opponent (对手) and at where they can move next. Less skilled players, however, might watch only one detail but not what is happening around them. Skilled players are also often faster to make decisions compared to less skilled players; their experiences create more stored memories that help speed up their decision-making. Essentially, skilled players know what information is the most relevant to focus on and they act on it quickly. Adding to this picture is new research that explores the negative impact of mental fatigue (疲劳) on physical performance. This work shows that our ability to exercise can be affected negatively after activities requiring long periods of thinking and mental effort, particularly when these activities are boring. It first considers the impact of using the brain so much that it makes you physically tired. This may be particularly relevant for coaches of young players shifting from the school day to training, especially if the day’s lessons have been complex. Coaches should therefore map out appropriate strategies by considering the amount of information they provide for athletes and the complexity of the tasks and instructions. Overall, cognitive (认知的) skills, like physical qualities, are key to high performance and even play a role in identifying future potential. Cognition could be a reliable marker of ability over time and could provide some basis for prediction of talent. 41. Why are some great athletes mentioned in the text? A. To compare different sports. B. To highlight physical training. C. To stress mental skills in sports. D. To honor their achievements in sports. 42. According to paragraph 2, what advantage do skilled athletes tend to have? A. Faster moving speed. B. Wider focus of attention. C. More efficient teamwork. D. Stronger physical endurance. 43. Successful athletes make decisions quickly by _______. A. referring to previous experience B. ignoring all outside distractions C. learning from opponents’ strategies D. understanding coaches’ instructions 44. What does the author suggest coaches do after their players have had a hard school day? A. Lengthen the warm-up for training. B. Set the training intensity adaptively. C. Prioritize physical over cognitive training. D. Refer to their players’ previous performance. 45. What is the text mainly about? A. The quality of sports talent. B. The overall training in sports. C. The cognitive power in sports. D. The variables affecting sports. C In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett — “Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory Nevertheless, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue (贬低) the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad Sjastad explains that the “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism (机制) . “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.” If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says. It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect” may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve. Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing has happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals. 46. What can we learn from paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”? A. It protects us from false feedback. B. It pictures us as competitive people. C. It poses a severe threat to the self-image. D. It denies negative feedback to ourselves. 47. What is the author’s attitude towards failure? A. Short-sighted. B. Wait-and-see. C. Objective. D. Skeptical. 48. What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Unhappily. B. Mistakenly. C. Hurriedly. D. Carelessly 49. Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A. Don’t escape when our self-image is broken. B. Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy. C. Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”. D. Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self. 50. What is the main purpose of the author mentioning Samuel Beckett’s quote at the beginning of the passage? A. To show the popularity of motivational literature in today’s society. B. To introduce the common positive view on failure as a learning opportunity. C. To criticize inspirational speakers for misleading the public. D. To contrast with the following discussion on the “sour-grape effect”. 第二卷 第一节：阅读表达（每小题2分，共10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 My parents have a big cat at home named comet. He has big ears, a large head, huge feet, and a gentle personality — but we have no way of knowing for sure. He came from the local animal shelter. My brother and I didn’t really want him, since he was a kitten and we wanted to adopt an adult cat because we thought the kittens would be more likely to find another home, but my little sister insisted. We brought comet home that day. He soon fell ill and grew alarmingly weak — his ribs (肋骨) stuck out and his fur lost its shine. He became so fragile that I feared touching him, though he clearly needed care. Some years later, I went home one afternoon after having had an emotional breakdown. My whole life was upside down. I felt depressed, an empty shell of a person. I had no idea what pieces were even worth picking up again. I found comet curled up in a corner that afternoon. He’d been asleep, but he lifted his head and looked at me when I came in. I reached a hand toward him. He gently rubbed his head against it. I moved my hand down to scratch his back and sides, and he stretched luxuriously, giving me looks of absolute adoration. At that point, it hit me: this cat loved me. The cat I didn’t want, the cat I couldn’t bear to take care of when his life depended on it, loved me. And he would always love me. No matter what was going on in my life, comet would still look up from a nap when I entered the room, would still love to be touched by me. I believe that real love, whether it comes from your families, or a shelter cat, is offered determinedly and unconditionally. Love is what enables us to pick up the pieces of our broken lives and go on. 51. Why didn’t the writer and his brother want to adopt comet at first?

Like many young athletes, she dreamed of competing in the Olympics, but a serious illness ruined her chance to qualify for the Games. However, the disappointment did not stop her from moving forward. Instead, she turned her focus to marathon swimming. A naturally gifted athlete, Nyad was physically well-conditioned to endure long periods in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete not only against herself but also against obstacles such as distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion. Over the next ten years, Nyad dedicated herself to becoming one of the world’s top long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for that course. In 1972, she broke another record by swimming 102.5 miles from a Bahamian island to the Florida coast. Then, in 1975, she broke a third record when she swam around Manhattan Island. Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the stretch of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she was forced to abandon the attempt to protect her health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad, the strength of her purpose mattered as much as reaching Cuba itself. “That was how she defined success,” she later reflected: “It didn’t matter that my swim fell short — I believed I had already touched the other shore.” To her, success was never just about crossing a finish line — it was about refusing to back down from a dream. When Nyad eventually retired from swimming, she continued to take on new challenges: traveling the world as a reporter, writing books, and delivering public speeches about her life journey. Today, Diana Nyad still works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the world’s most daunting waters. 36. What is the key reason that Nyad turned to marathon swimming? A. She failed to qualify for the Olympic Games. B. She wanted to find a less competitive sport than pool swimming. C. She found she had a natural talent for spending long periods in water. D. A health problem prevented her from achieving her original dream. 37. How is the information in the second paragraph organized? A. By listing events in the order they happened. B. By describing Nyad’s feelings during each swim. C. By explaining why Nyad broke swimming records. D. By comparing Nyad’s swimming speed with others. 38. What does the underlined phrase “fell short” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Ended in failure. B. Was stopped by dangers. C. Was shorter than planned. D. Took less time than expected. 39. What did Nyad do after she finished her swimming career? A. She trained young swimmers to achieve their Olympic dreams. B. She reported on global events as a traveling journalist. C. She shared her life stories through writing and speaking. D. She advocated for safer conditions in long-distance swimming. 40. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the challenges of marathon swimming. B. To describe the history of long-distance swimming records. C. To tell the life story of an inspiring and determined athlete. D. To compare Nyad’s swimming career with her later jobs. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. A 39. C 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国长距离游泳运动员Diana Nyad的人生故事，她因健康问题无缘奥运会后转向马拉松游泳，多次打破纪录，并在退役后继续通过写作和演讲激励他人，展现了她坚韧不拔的精神。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Like many young athletes, she dreamed of competing in the Olympics, but a serious illness ruined her chance to qualify for the Games. However, the disappointment did not stop her from moving forward. Instead, she turned her focus to marathon swimming. (像许多年轻的运动员一样，她梦想参加奥运会，但一场重病毁掉了她获得奥运会参赛资格的机会。然而，这次失望并没有阻止她继续前进。相反，她把注意力转向了马拉松游泳。)”可知，Nyad转向马拉松游泳的关键原因是健康问题阻碍了她实现最初的奥运梦想，故选D。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Over the next ten years, Nyad dedicated herself to becoming one of the world’s top long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for that course. In 1972, she broke another record by swimming 102.5 miles from a Bahamian island to the Florida coast. Then, in 1975, she broke a third record when she swam around Manhattan Island. (在接下来的十年里，尼亚德致力于成为世界顶尖的长距离游泳运动员之一。1970年，她在安大略湖游了一场十英里的马拉松比赛，创下了该赛程的女子纪录。1972年，她从巴哈马群岛的一个岛屿游到佛罗里达海岸，全程102.5英里，打破了另一项纪录。接着在1975年，她游完了曼哈顿岛一圈，又打破了第三项纪录。)”可知，第二段的信息是按照时间顺序（1970年、1972年、1975年）列举了Nyad打破纪录的事件，故选A。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“After battling the water for two days, she was forced to abandon the attempt to protect her health and safety. (在与海水搏斗了两天后，为了保护自己的健康和安全，她被迫放弃了这次尝试。)”以及划线部分后Nyad的感悟“I believed I had already touched the other shore. (我相信我已经触及了彼岸。)”可推知，她的这次游泳尝试并未成功到达终点，是以失败告终，故“fell short”意为“以失败告终”，故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“When Nyad eventually retired from swimming, she continued to take on new challenges: traveling the world as a reporter, writing books, and delivering public speeches about her life journey. (当Nyad最终从游泳界退役后，她继续接受新的挑战：作为记者环游世界、写书、以及发表关于她人生旅程的公开演讲。)”可知，她退役后通过写作和演讲分享了自己的人生故事，故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章第一段讲述了Nyad因健康问题无缘奥运后转向马拉松游泳；第二段讲述她多次打破纪录；第三段讲述她一次失败尝试后对成功的重新定义；最后一段讲述她退役后继续激励他人。全文围绕Nyad的人生经历展开，展现了她作为一位鼓舞人心且意志坚定的运动员的形象，故选C。 B “Look for the gap” “ Move into space” Sound familiar? From the sidelines to the field, no matter the team sport, looking for relevant information in the playing environment can be as important as any other skill if you want to score. Think Allen Iverson, Scott Pendlebury, or Natalie Medhurst, coolly judging all the options before making important decisions. How do these excellent athletes become so great? As well as their physical strengths, their brainpower is an obvious advantage. Regardless of whether an athlete is playing backyard cricket or Olympic basketball, their playing environment holds important information that must be found, explained and then acted on. Research conducted at Western Sydney University finds skilled players are better at looking for and seeing the options and what’s happening around them in the playing environment. They tend to look both at an opponent (对手) and at where they can move next. Less skilled players, however, might watch only one detail but not what is happening around them. Skilled players are also often faster to make decisions compared to less skilled players; their experiences create more stored memories that help speed up their decision-making. Essentially, skilled players know what information is the most relevant to focus on and they act on it quickly. Adding to this picture is new research that explores the negative impact of mental fatigue (疲劳) on physical performance. This work shows that our ability to exercise can be affected negatively after activities requiring long periods of thinking and mental effort, particularly when these activities are boring. It first considers the impact of using the brain so much that it makes you physically tired. This may be particularly relevant for coaches of young players shifting from the school day to training, especially if the day’s lessons have been complex. Coaches should therefore map out appropriate strategies by considering the amount of information they provide for athletes and the complexity of the tasks and instructions. Overall, cognitive (认知的) skills, like physical qualities, are key to high performance and even play a role in identifying future potential. Cognition could be a reliable marker of ability over time and could provide some basis for prediction of talent. 41. Why are some great athletes mentioned in the text? A. To compare different sports. B. To highlight physical training. C. To stress mental skills in sports. D. To honor their achievements in sports. 42. According to paragraph 2, what advantage do skilled athletes tend to have? A. Faster moving speed. B. Wider focus of attention. C. More efficient teamwork. D. Stronger physical endurance. 43. Successful athletes make decisions quickly by _______. A. referring to previous experience B. ignoring all outside distractions C. learning from opponents’ strategies D. understanding coaches’ instructions 44. What does the author suggest coaches do after their players have had a hard school day? A. Lengthen the warm-up for training. B. Set the training intensity adaptively. C. Prioritize physical over cognitive training. D. Refer to their players’ previous performance. 45. What is the text mainly about? A. The quality of sports talent. B. The overall training in sports. C. The cognitive power in sports. D. The variables affecting sports. 【答案】41. C 42. B 43. A 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在运动中认知技能对运动员的重要性，如技术娴熟的运动员在认知方面的优势以及认知技能对运动员决策等方面的影响等。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Think Allen Iverson, Scott Pendlebury, or Natalie Medhurst, coolly judging all the options before making important decisions. How do these excellent athletes become so great? As well as their physical strengths, their brainpower is an obvious advantage.( 想想艾伦·艾弗森、斯科特·彭德尔伯里或娜塔莉·梅德赫斯特，在做出重要决定之前，他们会冷静地判断所有的选择。这些优秀的运动员是如何变得如此伟大的？和他们的体力一样，他们的脑力也是一个明显的优势)”可知，文章开篇提到一些著名运动员，然后说他们除了身体优势，脑力也是明显优势。后面围绕运动员的认知技能展开论述，所以提到这些运动员是为了强调在运动中的心智技能（mental skills）。故选C项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Research conducted at Western Sydney University finds skilled players are better at looking for and seeing the options and what’s happening around them in the playing environment. They tend to look both at an opponent (对手) and at where they can move next. Less skilled players, however, might watch only one detail but not what is happening around them.( 西悉尼大学进行的一项研究发现，熟练的球员更善于寻找和看到选择，以及在比赛环境中他们周围发生的事情。他们倾向于既看对手，又看下一步该往哪里走。然而，技能较差的运动员可能只关注一个细节，而不关注周围发生的事情)”可知，技术娴熟的运动员能更好地寻找和观察比赛环境中的选择以及周围发生的事情，他们会关注对手和自己下一步可以移动的位置，而技术欠佳的运动员可能只关注一个细节。这说明技术娴熟的运动员注意力的关注范围更广。故选B项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Skilled players are also often faster to make decisions compared to less skilled players; their experiences create more stored memories that help speed up their decision- making.( 与技能较差的运动员相比，技能娴熟的运动员通常也能更快地做出决定；他们的经历创造了更多的记忆，帮助他们加快决策)”可知，与技术欠佳的运动员相比，技术娴熟的运动员决策也更快，他们的经验创造了更多存储的记忆，有助于加快他们的决策速度。也就是说成功的运动员通过参考以前的经验快速做出决策。故选A项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Coaches should therefore map out appropriate strategies by considering the amount of information they provide for athletes and the complexity of the tasks and instructions.( 因此，教练员应考虑他们提供给运动员的信息量以及任务和指示的复杂性，制定出适当的策略)” 可知，在球员经历了辛苦的学校一天后，教练应该通过考虑为运动员提供的信息量以及任务和指令的复杂性来制定合适的策略，也就是适应性地设置训练强度。故选B项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合根据第一段中“Think Allen Iverson, Scott Pendlebury, or Natalie Medhurst, coolly judging all the options before making important decisions. How do these excellent athletes become so great? As well as their physical strengths, their brainpower is an obvious advantage.( 想想艾伦·艾弗森、斯科特·彭德尔伯里或娜塔莉·梅德赫斯特，在做出重要决定之前，他们会冷静地判断所有的选择。这些优秀的运动员是如何变得如此伟大的？和他们的体力一样，他们的脑力也是一个明显的优势)”和第二段中“Research conducted at Western Sydney University finds skilled players are better at looking for and seeing the options and what’s happening around them in the playing environment. They tend to look both at an opponent (对手) and at where they can move next. Less skilled players, however, might watch only one detail but not what is happening around them.( 西悉尼大学进行的一项研究发现，熟练的球员更善于寻找和看到选择，以及在比赛环境中他们周围发生的事情。他们倾向于既看对手，又看下一步该往哪里走。然而，技能较差的运动员可能只关注一个细节，而不关注周围发生的事情)”可知，文章主要论述了在运动中认知技能（cognitive skills）对运动员的重要性，如技术娴熟的运动员在认知方面的优势以及认知技能对运动员决策等方面的影响等。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是运动中的认知能力。故选C项。 C In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett — “Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory Nevertheless, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue (贬低) the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad Sjastad explains that the “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism (机制) . “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.” If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says. It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect” may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve. Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing has happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals. 46. What can we learn from paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”? A. It protects us from false feedback. B. It pictures us as competitive people. C. It poses a severe threat to the self-image. D. It denies negative feedback to ourselves. 47. What is the author’s attitude towards failure? A. Short-sighted. B. Wait-and-see. C. Objective. D. Skeptical. 48. What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Unhappily. B. Mistakenly. C. Hurriedly. D. Carelessly 49. Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A. Don’t escape when our self-image is broken. B. Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy. C. Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”. D. Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self. 50. What is the main purpose of the author mentioning Samuel Beckett’s quote at the beginning of the passage? A. To show the popularity of motivational literature in today’s society. B. To introduce the common positive view on failure as a learning opportunity. C. To criticize inspirational speakers for misleading the public. D. To contrast with the following discussion on the “sour-grape effect”. 【答案】46. D 47. C 48. C 49. A 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了当今励志文学中对失败的积极看法，同时指出大多数人难以建设性地处理失败，引出“酸葡萄效应”这一自我保护机制，分析了其产生原因和影响，最后强调要正确面对失败。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. (Sjastad解释说“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制。“我们大多数人把自己想象成有能力的人，所以当外部反馈表明情况并非如此时，这种自我形象就会受到严重威胁，”他表示。)”可知，“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制，会否认外界对于我们的负面反馈，故选D。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. (这并不意味着我们应该一直坚持目标。如果这个过程不再让我们感到快乐，那么改变雄心壮志可能是健康的。)”和最后一段“Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals. (失败是不可避免的。通过学会面对失望，而不是贬低它的重要性，假装什么都没发生，你可能会发现更容易实现你的目标。)”可知，作者认为失败是不可避免的，有时候我们需要失败，同时要面对失败，由此可推知，作者从正反两方面来对待失败，所以说作者对待失败的态度是客观的，故选C。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve. (而不是坚持一会儿，看看我们是否可以学习和提高。)”可知，前后是对比关系，即酸葡萄效应可能导致我们过早地做出这个决定，而不是坚持一会儿，看看我们是否可以学习和提高，由此可推知，划线单词“prematurely”，与“hanging on a little”意思相反，意为“过早地”，与C项“匆忙地”意思相近，故选C。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals. (失败是不可避免的。通过学会面对失望，而不是贬低它的重要性，假装什么都没发生，你可能会发现更容易实现你的目标。)”可推知，作者通过全文的讨论，呼吁大家树立正确的失败观，警惕“酸葡萄效应”，当我们完美的自我形象受到外界负面反馈的影响时，不要逃避，不要贬低自己的价值，要勇敢地面对，从中得到学习和提高，故作者最有可能同意A项“当我们的自我形象被打破时，不要逃避”，故选A。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。文章开头引用塞缪尔・贝克特的名言“Try again. Fail again. Fail better. (再尝试。再失败。败得更精彩。)”，引出当下励志文学中“失败是成功的重要垫脚石”这一普遍积极观点；随后话锋一转，通过“Nevertheless(然而)” 引出心理学研究结论——多数人难以建设性地应对失败，进而介绍“酸葡萄效应”。由此可见，作者开头引用名言是为了与后文关于“酸葡萄效应”的讨论形成对比，突出人们在实际应对失败时与理想中积极态度的差距，故选D。 第二卷 第一节：阅读表达（每小题2分，共10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 My parents have a big cat at home named comet. He has big ears, a large head, huge feet, and a gentle personality — but we have no way of knowing for sure. He came from the local animal shelter. My brother and I didn’t really want him, since he was a kitten and we wanted to adopt an adult cat because we thought the kittens would be more likely to find another home, but my little sister insisted. We brought comet home that day. He soon fell ill and grew alarmingly weak — his ribs (肋骨) stuck out and his fur lost its shine. He became so fragile that I feared touching him, though he clearly needed care. Some years later, I went home one afternoon after having had an emotional breakdown. My whole life was upside down. I felt depressed, an empty shell of a person. I had no idea what pieces were even worth picking up again. I found comet curled up in a corner that afternoon. He’d been asleep, but he lifted his head and looked at me when I came in. I reached a hand toward him. He gently rubbed his head against it. I moved my hand down to scratch his back and sides, and he stretched luxuriously, giving me looks of absolute adoration. At that point, it hit me: this cat loved me. The cat I didn’t want, the cat I couldn’t bear to take care of when his life depended on it, loved me. And he would always love me. No matter what was going on in my life, comet would still look up from a nap when I entered the room, would still love to be touched by me. I believe that real love, whether it comes from your families, or a shelter cat, is offered determinedly and unconditionally. Love is what enables us to pick up the pieces of our broken lives and go on. 51. Why didn’t the writer and his brother want to adopt comet at first?

Because comet, a kitten, was more likely to be adopted. Because they wanted to adopt an adult cat. 52. Weak. 53. He lifted his head and looked at the writer, and (then) rubbed his head against his hand. 54. He felt (deeply) loved and comforted./ Deeply comforted and loved. 55. (答案不唯一) I think real love is determined./ unconditional. It gives me courage and warmth to face difficulties at school. 或者 Determined./ Unconditional/ Real love gives strength/ courage. (结合自身经历合理表述即可。) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者起初不愿收养小猫Comet，后在自身低谷时被小猫的爱治愈，领悟到真爱坚定且无条件的道理。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“My brother and I didn’t really want him, since he was a kitten and we wanted to adopt an adult cat because we thought the kittens would be more likely to find another home, but my little sister insisted.(我哥哥和我其实并不想要它，因为它是一只小猫，而我们想收养一只成年猫，因为我们认为小猫更有可能找到另一个家，但我的小妹妹坚持要养它)”可知，作者和哥哥起初不想收养Comet，是因为它是小猫，他们想收养成年猫，且认为小猫更易被领养。故填Because they wanted to adopt an adult cat. / Because comet, a kitten, was more likely to be adopted. 【52题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第二段中的“He soon fell ill and grew alarmingly weak — his ribs (肋骨) stuck out and his fur lost its shine. He became so fragile that I feared touching him, though he clearly needed care.(它很快就病了，变得异常虚弱——肋骨突出，毛发也失去了光泽。它变得如此fragile，以至于我都不敢碰它，尽管它显然需要照顾)”可知，小猫生病后极度虚弱，肋骨突出、毛发无光泽，因此作者不敢触碰它，由此猜测fragile意为“虚弱的”。故填Weak. 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“I found comet curled up in a corner that afternoon. He’d been asleep, but he lifted his head and looked at me when I came in. I reached a hand toward him. He gently rubbed his head against it.(那天下午，我发现Comet蜷缩在角落里。它本来在睡觉，但我进来时它抬起头看了看我。我向它伸出手，它轻轻地用头蹭我的手)”可知，作者情绪低落时，Comet抬起头看他，并把头蹭他的手。故填He lifted his head and looked at the writer, and (then) rubbed his head against his hand. 【54题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“At that point, it hit me: this cat loved me. The cat I didn’t want, the cat I couldn’t bear to take care of when his life depended on it, loved me.(就在那一刻，我突然意识到：这只猫爱我。这只我曾经不想要、在它生命垂危时我都不忍照顾的猫，竟然爱我)”可知，当Comet回应作者的触摸时，作者感受到了被爱和安慰。故填He felt (deeply) loved and comforted./ Deeply comforted and loved. 【55题详解】 开放题。根据最后一段中的“I believe that real love, whether it comes from your families, or a shelter cat, is offered determinedly and unconditionally. Love is what enables us to pick up the pieces of our broken lives and go on.(我相信，真正的爱，无论是来自家人，还是一只收容所的猫，都是坚定且无条件的。正是爱让我们能够收拾破碎生活的碎片，继续前行)”可知，真正的爱是坚定、无条件的，能给予人力量。故填(答案不唯一) I think real love is determined./ unconditional. It gives me courage and warmth to face difficulties at school. 或者 Determined./ Unconditional/ Real love gives strength/ courage. (结合自身经历合理表述即可。) 第二节：书面表达（满分20分） 56. 假如你是李津，你们学校读书俱乐部近期举办了“Reading and Reflection”主题征文活动。请你结合课本中海伦·凯勒的文章Three Days to See，写一篇读后感投稿。词数120左右。内容包括： 1. 简述这篇文章带给你的核心触动； 2. 结合自身生活实例，谈谈人们坐拥美好，却不懂珍惜的普遍心态； 3. 阐述今后自己如何调整心态，珍惜当下。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Sir, Having read the classic essay Three Days to See by Helen Keller, I have been deeply inspired. To her, common sights and sounds are still precious gifts worthy of being cherished. Her passion for life has left me endless reflection. It’s a common human weakness that we always take what we possess for granted. I used to be immersed in heavy schoolwork, becoming indifferent to my parents’ considerate care. I seldom spared time to chat with them. I also ignored the wonderful sunrises, fresh air and lovely scenery around me, wasting countless valuable days without a grateful heart. From now on, I will learn to slow down my pace, appreciate the beauty in daily life. Only when we truly value the present can we live a meaningful and fulfilling life. Yours sincerely, Li Jin 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生以李津的身份，向学校读书俱乐部的征文活动投稿，围绕海伦·凯勒的《假如给我三天光明》写一篇读后感，并结合自身事例阐述人们不珍惜所拥有之物的现象，并说明今后要珍惜当下的打算。 【详解】1.词汇积累 深深地；极大地： deeply → profoundly 珍惜：cherish → treasure 激情，热情：passion → enthusiasm 忽略：ignore → neglect 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：I used to be immersed in heavy schoolwork, becoming indifferent to my parents’ considerate care. 拓展句：As I was occupied with heavy schoolwork previously, I turned a blind eye to my parents’ thoughtful care. 【点睛】【高分句型1】It’s a common human weakness that we always take what we possess for granted.
